These quick whistle holding the balls are going one way

Most fun I've had in front of the tv since 21 GF

Rush Kick forward bounced the wrong way deliberate f me

Just re-watched the Rivers non goal 9 -10 steps max. Ridiculous 

We are in this, f the umps and lions. Love the effort form the boys playing angry

Too far, riv  omac mark this is disgusting

 🤮 how can you pay a free kick and 50 against Petty for one action. Free kick yes but not a fifty unless it's reportable 

It's a big lions love in on Fox pregame show. Jonathon Brown , al Lynch. Ashcroft is back. Talking top 4 🤮 love to knock these p ricks off

Amw for Salem

Lever for Howes 

Net upgrade for our team from last week

Yes. He said he tweaked his knee but it’s not serious 

Unfortunately it seems it's permanently tweaked

Melks again said “two weeks” I said “still two weeks???” He said “You only asked me on Friday!” 😂

Bear hug given  ✅ Pup all smiles.

 

Is BBB injured again ? Didn't play for casey

I missed the whole ‘North taking him with pick 3’ fiasco so I have no idea how good he was meant to be or where he otherwise would have been taken 

But surely anyone taken at that pick must have something to work with? Especially if he’s in the right environment and has the right mentality 

Sounds like Jack billings 2.0

So are we going to fine every player that drops their knees and raises their arm in a tackle to get draw a high tackle free kick. Don't agree with what may did but trying to con the umps into a free kick happens 30+ time a game and every player does it at some stage. 

If it wasn't highlighted in the media it wouldn't have drawn a fine. Maybe the AFL should review every game for staging will be a nice earner for them

Mcadam is so far off it. And at age 29, you wonder why he was brought in?

Adelaide fleeced us getting a second round pick for him

Only got 10 minutes ,  in my view should have been much longer.

but that 4 point saving tackle, quick and a hard tackle saved us last night. Will live for a long time those 10 minutes.  And the faces of old Dog and Yse sitting in the stands  really great. 
 

go Dee’s    A win is better than a loss but a zero score in the last .  ?

100% agree on playing time. If your going to announce a debut and make a big deal of you should probably do so if you plan to play the kid in the 22. I think the same for any debutant. Sitting on the bench burning nervous energy isn't great IMHO.

Why are the Carlton supporters booing everything? 

Because Carlton, worst supporters in the league , just angry entitled nuffies. As a 10 year old at the prelim in 88 at VFL Park I somehow ended up in a Carlton section. After a Melbourne goal I waved my flag and a grown man yanked it out of my hand and snapped the stick. Hated them ever since

I am utterly amazed that Petty continues to get gifted games.

Baffled.

Goodwin's commitment or stubbornness to make it work is a really getting beyond the pale 

Agree on the grub Swan getting his love in when he he a terrible human on many levels. But MFC not having a representative at the hall of fame event is a bad look and poor form IMHO

Question? Could we run down a 50 pt deficit though?  Hmmm

We were 51 points down at halftime against Freo 

Howe reminding everyone why he never made it as a forward

Gift goal from that 50m penalty. Never gets paid

lol we are going to get slaughtered next week… 

I genuinely think our form line puts us as the worst team in the comp right now 

It does. I think it is all the sides right now our supporters are the least hopeful for what will play out for 2024

1998 I’d argue was an even better shot than 2000.

AFL shafted us by fixturing the Preliminary Final against North as a Night game. We played just one game under lights (Swans) in the whole regular season.

North by contrast played 8 Night games and 1 in the QF against the Bombers.

I always wonder if it would have made any difference if we were fixtured a day game? 

Agree 98 was the year that was our best chance outside 2021.  We got shafted by the finals system , finished 4th but in that year 1st played 8th and so on, so we won 2 finals and then had to play a prelim against the top ranked team, they changed the finals the following year

It’s a myth Darling’s form in his draft year wasn’t great. He went from rag dolling opponents as an underage player in colts the previous year to playing seniors in his draft year where he really struggled against older stronger opponents.

This is where I believe recruiters had doubts on his ability to transfer his junior form to senior footy. Maybe in hindsight it assisted him in learning and developing an understanding of how to play against bigger bodies 

Darling tore it up as a 16 year in the National carnival for WA and was touted as a top 3 pick for the following year at the time. Your correct his from did drop the following year playing seniors, he did play the U/18 carnival and was expected to dominate but had a poor showing. There was various conspiracies that he didn't give his all and a school suspension and supposed nightclub incident that where all part of the plan for him to stay in WA. Certainly a steal at pick 26.

But thats history . I am in the get Luker in for a taste ASAP camp. He is a forward who at least has grown up playing forward and I assume leads , has a strong body so should be able to at least compete.  Surely can't be any worse that the Petty /Turner output at the moment
